About the event
Profs and Pints DC presents: “RBG before she was ‘Notorious,” look at the early Ruth Bader Ginsburg and how she got women into the U.S. Constitution, with Philippa Strum, former director of U.S. Studies at the Woodrow Wilson Center, longtime interviewer of Justice Ginsburg, and author of several award-winning books on the U.S. Supreme Court, constitutional law, and women and politics.
What put Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the path to becoming a popular icon was the gender equality cases that she, as a young attorney, took to the U.S. Supreme Court in the 1970s. Learn more from a longtime scholar and teacher of political science and constitutional law and the author of On Account of Sex: Ruth Bader Ginsburg and the Making of Gender Equality Law.
